Abstract
A technique facilitates seismic exploration by identifying time differences between clocks employed during the seismic exploration. According to an embodiment, a seismic signal is output from a source and has an incident wave and a reflected wave. The seismic signal is received by at least one receiver which outputs data to a control system. The control system is employed to compare a symmetry of the propagation of the incident wave and the reflected wave. The symmetry data is then used to determine a temporal change of the time base of the at least one receiver.
